Soundwave Festival 2015 will be held over 2 days in each city - Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney & Brisbane. Half the bands play day one. The other half play day two. They criss-cross Saturday/Sunday in each city. Adelaide & Melbourne will be the 1st weekend of the festival. The dates for these two cities are Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 of February. Sydney and Brisbane will be the 2nd weekend of the festival; held over Saturday 28 February and Sunday 1 March. The ticket price for the 2 days will be the same as last year. $185 + booking fees. These will be limited in number. There will also be a number of day tickets available at $120 + booking fees. We are hoping that offering day tickets will make the festival experience available to those who may not be able to afford weekend tickets. Putting the line-up across 2 days enables us to minimize clashes; give bands longer sets, better staging, production & infrastructure. We are also hoping that this will give fans better value for money and a less stressful day The entire lineup will be announced at once and weekend tickets will then go on sale. The lineup will then be split into individual days when day tickets go on sale. In recent years we have lost great bands over too many bands wanting to play after dark. This new set-up also gives us twice the dark!

﻿Everybody's favourite hard rock, metal, punk, and everything in between festival, Soundwave, will be back with a bang in 2015. This evening, festival boss AJ Maddah announced on his personal Twitter account the following:﻿

If previous years are anything to go by, we can expect the line-up to start appearing this coming August.

Update 10:09pm. Further tweets from AJ include the news that there will be less sideshows than previous years and that the aim for the announcement is to come in early August. The lineup will be announced as one list with the weekend split being announced in September. Weekend tickets will go on sale first with individual day tickets being released after the announcement of which bands are playing on which day in each city.
